HP ZBook 15G8 Nvidia RTX A2000: Too Noisy & Hot for DVD Scaling to 1080p?

[cin5]

I need a new laptop like weeks ago but want one for the long term. I could get a decent price on an HP Zbook G8 15", which typically includes one of the Nvidia Ampere GPUs. But I can only find reviews on the noisier and thirstier RTX A3000, A5000, not the A2000. Of course, from what's been claimed here is that JRVR
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,132831.0.html and even madVR http://madvr.com/ can do DVD scaling quite well via the iGPU among several processors.

While at least among better scaling results are typically attained from HTPCs, has anyone else attempted DVD movie scaling via laptops? If yes, with what hardware and software? And what were the heat/noise experiences?

Any experiences or known reports using the RTX A2000 mobile graphics with these apps?

Wait what? You're getting a laptop to be an HTPC and want it to have a high end workstation card in it? Do you like lighting money on fire?

Indeed, that's what I get for not first doing my homework. Among the laptops I’m looking to buy some will have these graphics

https://www.notebookcheck.net/GeFor...vs-Quadro-P2000_10227_9860_8886.247598.0.html

I think the 1650ti may be the oldest of these mobile versions, but a user of same said he could use some number of the better settings in http://madvr.com/ to scale DVDs to 1080p. That’s what I want to.

But of the above three how do they compare at running madVR for best quality 1080p scaling of a commercially issued (Warners, CBS Paramount, Universal, Fox) ~ 90 minute movie or 60 minute TV show DVD-and at the least power consumption, heat and fan noise.

That is, which one may have the best of both, power and efficiency, for this task?

From what I can discern from the Cinebench and power consumption tests above, the p2000 seems like the best choice. Yes?

Get a desktop replacement laptop, not a notebook

By that you mean an HP ZBook instead of an HP Elitebook or Dell Precision instead of an XPS, that's exactly where I want to go.

But am I right about the Quadro p2000 graphics over the Quadro T1000 and 1650ti for DVD upscaling via madVR-or at least JRiver player's upgraded JRVR scaler https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/JRVR_-_JRiver_Video_Renderer , AND to minimize power draw and fan noise?
